Apologises to anyone I have missed but you will have reviewed after I begun typing up

Sasuke looked up as some music began to play out of his stero. He didn't recognise it but by the way Hinata had a small smile creeping onto her face it was one of her favourites. Though as the lyrics started she was only mouthing along with the words.

"Hey."

Hinata turned to look at him.

"If your going to practise at least sing properly…and you can forget going all shy in front of me because your gonna be singing infront of everyone at school." Sasuke told her blunty turning to stare at the ceiling once more.

Hinata nodded silently pressing the button to start the track and this time joining in with the lyrics

I never knew.
I never knew that everything was falling through
that everyone I knew was waiting on a queue.
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
but that's how it's got to be.
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy.
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see.
The smoke and who's still standing, when it clears.

Itachi almost choked when he heard singing from upstairs. He'd ventured to the bottom of the stairs not wanting to break his holeing up in the lair he called a bedroom on the ground floor. It was rare for him to venture out when there were others… or his brother in the house. Since Kasami usually brought him food and other edibles.

Everyone knows I'm in
over my head
over my head
with eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Sasuke stiffened slightly at the lyrics it was impossible that Hinata could know what he was going through right now. He'd only just convinced himself that he was in it for seeing the small and delicate Hyuuga squirm.

Let's rearrange.

I wish you were a stranger I could disengage.
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard.
Find another friend and you discard
as you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between.

Hinata by now was lost in the song and didn't notice reactions by the Uchiha whos room she was currently taking over. Not that she would of noticed the first brother clambering the stairs for the first time in too long just to try and catch a glimps of the owner of the singing voice.

Everyone knows I'm in
over my head
over my head
with eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

(Repeated)

Itachi stealthily made his way to his brother's room and then cursed his sibling for being such a private person that his bedroom door was always completely closed; especially since any attempts at installing a lock had been dismatled.

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last.
I'm losing you and it's effortless
without a sound we lose sight of the ground
in the throw around.
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I will let it go down till we torch it ourselves.

There was a slam of the door being opened and though the music continued Hinata's voice did not occampany it because she was way to preoccupied by the over hanging presence of Uchiha Itachi in the doorway Sasuke shot up glaring daggers.

"What do you want?"

"I was just seeking out the source of the delightful singing that filled our humble home." Itachi replied suavely, sparing his brother a mear glance before looking back at the Hyuuga. "You must be Hinata Hyuuga… since your sister is much younger and I doubt my brother would make friends with anyone less than a heiress."

Hinata looked slightly distressed and reached over and pressed the stop button, which only gave way to a unforgiving silence.

"Get out."

Sasuke leapt up from his bed and forced the door back into its frame. By the time he'd turned round Hinata was gone.

All that was left was the stero reading NO DISK and the curtains flowing from the slight breeze from the open widow. She'd obviously vanished out of it and from the drop she must have been quite the gymnast not to break anything.

Hinata ran for all she was worth. She knew that Sasuke had an older brother but it had never occurred to her that he was in the house with them, or even that he was so intimidating. Though the last part was probably just a Uchiha trait.

The next morning first lesson was drama but as Hyuuga's found little use for faking emotions…or emotions at all, Hinata was exscused and she found Kurenai to give her some advise on what songs to sing at the Winter Dance.

"So your actually taking this seriously?" Kurenai asked slightly surprised.

Hinata nodded hesitently, thinking that technically she was being blackmailed into it but she wasn't about to say that.

The music teacher beamed happily, "I'm glad to hear it, have you considered the performance side to things?" she asked curiously.

Hinata looked confused to say the least.

"You know… dancing." Kurenai explained not afraid to get right to the point.

The young Hyuuga blinked up at her a mortified expression creeping onto her face.

"That would be a no then."

"Sas….You…No one said anything about d…dancing." Hinata stuttered.

Kurenai gave her most promising student a look that fortold doom. Hinata squeaked and fled from the room.

When she stopped running, it was all she seemed to do lately, Hinata found that she was on the roof of the school. Oblivious to the other person sat up there she wandered over to the edge.

"Don't jump."

But Hinata did, though in surprise, spinning round to face them. Gaara sat there watching her with curious yet morbidly dark eyes.

"O…Subaku-san I…"

"Gaara."

"em…what?"

"Call me Gaara."

"O…Gaara-san, then. I was just going to say that you startled me."

He nodded. Hinata bit her lip then went and sat next to him, more to avoid his wakefull gaze than anything.

"Call me Hinata then."

Gaara glanced at her in mild surprise before returning to staring at the sky.

"em… Gaara-san…your sister is…Temari…right?" Hinata said slowley trying to find a way not to involve Ino or Sakura in her performance.

He nodded.

"…and you eat lunch with her?"

Another nod.

"Would you mind if I joined you? Only… I think I might possibly need to ask her about something…maybe…" Hinata asked not sounding very sure at all.

This time Gaara did look at her.

Raising a non existant eyebrow he responded, "If you want to."

Hinata smiled shyley and nodded. Gaara 'hn'ed in recognition and silence once again desended, but it was a comfertable one. Only to be interupted by the sound of the bell for second lesson.

"Later Gaara-kun."Hinata said springing to her feet and dashing for the stairs.

He watched her go and pulled a letter out from his pocket and scanned it over again.

A small smile crept across his face and he leant back against the wall watching the clouds skim through the sky.

Sasuke sat in his spanish class bored out of his mind. He couldn't concentrait. Sure he'd finished all his classwork and could of progressed on to his homework but at that moment daydreaming was a much more tempting offer. Asuma was the spanish teacher but no one could figure out why, he seemed to be able to speak fluently in the language; however when asked a question he was absolutely hopeless. Then again. Everyone always passed his class so he couldn't be faulted.

The Uchiha prodigy sighed drawing the rapt attention of the girls in class who had to resist swooning as he brushed a stray lock of hair back from his face. Asuna glanced up from his Nintendo DS® and coughed, he gave the room a last sweep before returning to his Shoji game.

Unknown to a lot of people was the fact Shikamaru Nara had never actually transferred schools. He was just doing a complete different set of classes to the rest of the students, which meant he didn't have to get up early to come in on time. Luckily for him this meant that he could engage his former educator in a 'friendly' battle.

At break the Hyuuga Heiress was more than happy to join her cousin partially because of a discovery she'd just made. Which involved her locker and an inaproriate note, yet the writer did not sign his name. Taking a seat at the table Hinata was surprised when Kankuro joined them, picking the chair next to Tenten. As they struck up conversation she couldn't help but feel slightly alienated but when she tried to exscuse herself she was silenced by a look from her cousin.

Then Temari bounced up, as happy as ever.

"Hey all!" she chirped.

There were mumblings of greetings and Neji just scowled at her.

"Hinata… Gaara said something about you wanting to talk to me…" Temairi asked curiously.

Neji looked between the two of them especially as Hinata glanced nervously at him before nodding.

"Does it have to wait till lunch? Or can you talk now?"

"Whenevers best for you." Hinata replied not realising what she was getting herself into.
